The Classification Of Straight Razors
1. Point type
Blades are, first, categorized by type point. There are three main kind of the point:
Square, nails or sharp point, so called because the point of the profile is straight and terminates in a very sharp point perpendicular to the cutting edge of the razor. Ofblade this type is used for precise shaving in small areas but, at the risk of pinching the skin, it requires some experience in handling.
French (or oblique) point. Its profile resembles a four-point circle, but has a sharper angled curve, and while it ends in a sharp point such as the square point it lacks the abrupt straight line edge profile. The difference between these two is mainly aesthetic.
Round point. As the name implies is the point of the profile half circle and therefore it lacks any sharp end points. As such it is a more forgivingblade than the other two types and, although lacking the pinpoint accuracy the other two, it is recommended for relatively new users. There are also secondary edge type derived from a combination of the above as half round point incorporating round edges joined by a linear segment.
2. Grinding method
The second category refers the type of grinding method used and, because it affects the curvature of the blade cross section, including the following two types of blade grinds:
Grind flat or curved, indicating that the sides of the blade cross section is linear. This cross section most closely resembles a tongue blade and therefore it is sometimes called the wedge.
Hollow grind, indicating that the sides of the blade cross section is concave.
The combination of the type found in these two categories may be classified, in theory, lead to a wide variety of blade types such as round point hollow ground, square point flat ground and so on, but in practice a few points are combined a specific grind. For example, a French pointblade usually flat ground.
For a blade to be most effective in cutting it should be as thin as possible. So the grinding process to remove material from the most theblade, without compromising integrity blade, is preferred.
A hollow grind makes a thinner blade than the flat grind because it removes more material from the blade (the blade thins hollows or more) and generally is considered a more effective (and expensive) method. In fact some high-end razor manufacturers limit their production exclusively groundrazors hollow.
3. Blade width
The third and last category refers to the width of the blade. The width of the blade is defined as the distance between the back of the blade and cutting edge. It is expressed in units of the eighth of an inch. The size varies from 3 / 8 "up to 7 / 8", rarely 8 / 8. "A more extensive blade can carry more lather, much like a scoop, during multiple successive shaving strokes and so it allows the user to the more shaving time minimizes blade and rinse cycles.
The absence of broader leaves is that it is not as manoeuverable as a narrow blade. A narrow blade can shave tight facial spots such as under the nose, but it must be rinsed more often. The most popular size blade width is 5 / 8 ".
